Lightbulb ROCKPro64 + SSD case model for 3D print
Posted by: Spater - 01-27-2023, 07:43 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - No Replies

Hi,

I just wanted to share my first attempt to create a 3D print model of a case for the ROCKPro64 board with a SSD (connected through a 2 port PCI-E to SATA extension) and a 40mm fan.

Hope it can be useful to others Smile

  Help with (.desktop) Desktop Shortcut
Posted by: jojuma - 01-27-2023, 04:22 PM - Forum: PostmarketOS on PinePhone - Replies (1)

Hello,

I am trying to place shortcuts to some websites on my app drawer, but they don't show up. I created some simple .desktop files like this:

Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Pine64 Forum
Type=Link
URL=https://forum.pine64.org
Icon=/home/user/.local/share/app_logos/logo.png

This is, what Firefox creates, when I do this on my desktop pc. The "desktop-file-validate" tool doesn't report errors.
I tried placing the file in "/usr/share/applications" and in "/home/user/.local/share/applications".

I rebooted several times, but I don't get to see anything in the app drawer.

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks!

  Hardware Request: A screenless data collection wearable (like the Whoop)
Posted by: croisca - 01-27-2023, 01:34 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTime - Replies (1)

I love that Pine offers a wearable watch with health tracking features - I really want a health tracker but I don't at all fancy smart watches. 

In the segment of screenless health trackers, there is currently the Whoop 4 and Amazon Halo band, both designed for discretion, supporting placement on the upper arm, ankle and even being attached via CGM sticker.

This is the Whoop 4

And this is what it looks like to have a health tracker attached via CGM sticker or bicep band

[Image: ZiIeXpt.jpg][Image: 36Bh735.png]

I was wondering if I could be so bold as to see if there is interest in such a device and perhaps make a hardware request (because I could never make this hardware myself)?

I feel like current generation wearables (fitbit and the like) are too focused on gimmicks, pushing subscription payments while lacking transparency. They have poor data exploration tools, don't offer insight into how they come to the health conclusions they do and you can't export raw data from their services .

Such a device would democratize the collection of health data and put the storage and post processing of that data in the hands of the device owner.

Does Pine64 take hardware requests?


Photo Can no longer take pictures, /dev/video* not recognized as video devices
Posted by: 64_Tesseract - 01-26-2023, 10:19 AM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - No Replies

This started a couple months or so ago, trying to open Megapixels just returned the error /dev/video2: No such device
I thought maybe the ribbon cable to to the camera got dislodged after dropping the phone hundreds of times, so I took them out and back in, but still had no luck with it. I could hear the lens or something clicking when trying to start Megapixels, so at least something was connecting, though it's since stopped...
I eventually updated PostmarketOS from 21.something to 22.12 thinking it was just a software issue, but it didn't help; I only got a different error: Could not find camera entity matching 'ov5640'
I also tried taking a picture with ffmpeg using all 3 /dev/videos, but got Not a video capture device and /dev/video2: No such device again.

I haven't gotten around to trying another OS yet, but I doubt this is a software issue considering that 2 other things broke as well, being the internal storage and rear speaker (kinda). Is there any way of narrowing the issue down to a specific component? Or will I have to build I2C prosthetics for my phone, or more realistically just get the Pro?


  NVME fails detection
Posted by: our0 - 01-25-2023, 01:25 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (1)

Hi,

My setup :
- latest arm64 Kali, with kernel 6.0.0-kali5-arm64
- latest tow-boot 2021.10-005 on SPI
Kingston A2000 M.2 2280 NVME 1 To (one of the best supported drives from wiki list)

My problem : On boot, nvme is detected but I get a rescue console on every boot.

My "ugly" fix : 
modprobe -r nvme
modprobe nvme
exit console
I get a normal boot

On logs (with |grep -i nvme):

  Pinetab for sale w/ keyboard (Denmark, EU) [sold]
Posted by: Louis - 01-24-2023, 06:01 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTab - No Replies

Hi

I have a Pinetab for sale w/ keyboard. Charger included.

This device is in good condition and currently running SailfishOS.

If you are looking to try out Ubuntu Touch, SailishOS, Plamsa Mobile, Phosh (GNOME for mobile) or Postmarket OS this is the device. With mainline kernel support you are able to install a lot of systems like for years to come.

I' m based in Denmark and prefer to sell within the EU. I'll be in Brussels 2. Feb - 5. Feb. attending CHAOSScon and FOSDEM '23 if you have an interest in seeing it. I just need to know in advance.

If you have further questions please let me know.

  pinephone keyboard + dock question
Posted by: tuxcall - 01-24-2023, 11:48 AM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (7)

Hi!

i've recently gotten the pinephone keyboard

now i also have the dock that came with the pinephone.

The manual of the pinephone keyboard states to NOT charge through the pinephone usb port and only through  the keyboards usb charging port.

to use the dock you need to use the pinephone's usb and connect the charger to the dock. Which to me would be charging through the pinephone.
Which the manual warns against.

can you use the dock + the pinephone keyboard together or is this impossible?
